Shift 2: Coherence

Principals and teachers carefully connect the learning within and across grades so that students can build new understanding onto foundations built in previous years. A teacher’s strong understanding of learning progressions will help them monitor a student’s progress and intervene in a timely basis. A student’s understanding of learning progressions can help them recognize if they are on track and can enable them to productively take more responsibility for improving their skills.
